[QUOTE="der_kluge, post: 183641, member: 945"] Heh, sounds like NWN will do to the computer hardware industry what Origins did to it 15(?) years ago! Origins made a game about 15 years ago that was a flight simulator. It was ahead of its time. I can't remember the name of it. Strike something, or something Strike. I forget. When it came out, NO ONE except the people with the absolute fastest machines could play the game. It came out later that Origins was intentionally doing that so that people would upgrade their hardware sooner. Turns out, they had some sort of kickbacks going on with the hardware industry. Sort of like SimLife. That game is actually playable today, and it's 10 years old. I intend to upgrade my machine for NWN as well. I will also be building my machine from scratch. My current computer, a 300mhz Pentium Celeron, I built solely from [url]http://www.pricewatch.com[/url] - I highly recommend that site. I even went so far as to buy my CPU from one place, and the motherboard from a completely different place. I will probably get the new case, motherboard, RAM, hard drive, and video card, and one of those fancy ball-less mouse. I recommend Turtle Beach sound Cards. The sound quality is just vastly superior to Creative Labs' sound cards. Though, less supported, I suppose. [/QUOTE]
